GALERIE THADDAEUS ROPAC BANKS VIOLETTE NINE PATRIOTIC HYMNS FOR CHILDREN PARIS DEBELLEYME 20 Thursday - 19 Saturday Galerie Thaddeus Ropac is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition of works on paper by New York artist, banks Violette. Banks Violette is most well known for his sculptures and large-scale installations that often explore subcultural communities, in a stark, enigmatic yet minimal aesthetics. Violette’s references to different subcultures or other real-life stories of the dark side of American culture are often hidden behind the more formal aspects of the work. The viewer, who engages in a theatrical relationship to the installations – often made of metal, mirror, neon, varnish and glass – is also charged with unearthing an array of uneasy truths contained in the sculpture. For this exhibition, Violette has borrowed the title, Nine Patriotic Hymns for Children, from the 1991 LP of American hardcore punk band, Born Against, known for their radical leftist politics. The graphite drawings, presented on the first floor of the gallery, develop many of the themes already present in his oeuvre, namely ideas of violence, destruction, excess, loss and despair. The work titled Poison Idea (2011) is a portrait of Jesus taken from hardcore punk band Poison Idea’s front cover album, which featured another “king”, Elvis Presley on the back cover. A completely new aspect of Violette’s work comprises giving a sculptural dimension to his drawings by creating hand-made frames, whilst other drawings will be mounted on sheets of aluminum and propped against the wall. Banks Violette was born in 1973 in Ithaca, New York; he lives and works in Brooklyn. He received his MFA from Columbia University in 2000 and previously studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York. He has had important solo exhibitions including the Museum of Modern Art in Fort Worth, Texas (2008); the Kunsthalle in Bergen, Norway (2007); and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (2005). He has also participated in major group shows at the Guggenheim Museum in New York and at the Palais de Tokyo in 2008. And in 2006, at the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zurich; the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt; the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam. .

Banks Violette
GALERIE THADDAEUS ROPAC BANKS VIOLETTE BANKS VIOLETTE SALZBURG VILLA KAST 24 Saturday - 19 Saturday We are pleased to announce our first extensive solo exhibition of the New York based artist Banks Violette. Born in 1973 in Ithaca (NY), Violette studied at Columbia University New York and at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Over the past three years, he has made a strong institutional presence which has made him internationally known in very short time: his participation in the renowned Whitney Biennial in New York (2004), the solo exhibition at Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, as well as his participation in major group exhibitions at Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zurich, Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt, and Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam (all in 2006) are his most important stations. With his glossy black sculptures that are often categorised as New Gothic, Banks Violette takes up the iconography of Heavy Metal, both at the formal-aesthetic and the context level. He exemplifies the symbolism of death and decay used in Black Metal subcultures, which oscillates between beauty and cruelty. In Salzburg, Violette will show sculptures and installations made of metal, neon, varnish, and glass, created specifically for the rooms in Villa Kast. In one instance, one of the sculptures will aim at destroying itself by means of a kinetic interaction of its components throughout the duration of the exhibition. In another case, the parts of a sculpture are made of deep-frozen elements. In the catalogue on the much-discussed exhibition USA Today at the London Royal Academy of Arts (2006), Norman Rosenthal writes: "[Banks Violette's] gothic installations are operatic analyses of the dark side of American culture.

Comme toutes les cultures « underground », le metal extrême n’est pas une histoire qui peut être vécue par procuration. Il apparaît donc qu’une partie des artistes dont l’œuvre est marquée en profondeur par cette culture ont été activement impliqués dans celle-ci. L’exposition Altars of Madness réunit les principaux d’entre eux. L’exposition pose sans détour la question de l’extrême, puis explore le genre musical sous les angles tour à tour de la politique, de la mort et d’un rapport païen au paysage.

LE BAPTÊME OU LA MORT : LE BLACK METAL DANS L’ART CONTEMPORAIN, NAISSANCE D’UNE NOUVELLE CATÉGORIE ESTHÉTIQUE Elodie Lesourd
LE BAPTÊME OU LA MORT : LE BLACK METAL DANS L’ART CONTEMPORAIN, NAISSANCE D’UNE NOUVELLE CATÉGORIE ESTHÉTIQUE Elodie Lesourd « O Lucifer, seul et unique Dieu de mon âme, inspire-moi quelque chose de plus et tu verras comme je m’y plongerai »1. Cette prière de Mme de Saint Ange pourrait être celle, exaucée, des artistes contemporains qui voient dans le Black Metal une lumière inspiratrice. Satan leur a délivré la forme créatrice la plus extrême, la plus délétère mais peut-être aussi la plus riche. Agissant à la fois comme les corbeaux messagers d’Odin, Huginn et Muninn (la pensée et la mémoire), les artistes dissèquent un sYstème, explorent les mécanismes parfois obscurs qui régissent un ensemble, récupèrent le potentiel esthétique de leur cible et en proposent, par un déplacement du sujet et un changement d’état, une lecture nouvelle et améliorée. Mais utiliser cet artefact culturel comme référent ne revient-il pas à dire que le Black Metal lui-même n’est pas un art fini ? A-t-il besoin de se faire baptiser par l’art pour exister ? Si les deux champs culturels, art contemporain et Black Metal, qualifiés de high ou low, paraissent opposés voire contradictoires, qu’est-ce qui permet ou motive la collision des deux ? Ainsi, on peut se demander de quelle manière les artistes utilisent ce courant musical comme fondement thématique et structurel de leur œuvre. Une analYse visuelle des signes référents du genre peut nous permettre d’observer un principe de révélation opéré par l’art. Or reconnaître sous entend que cela soit connu, voir c’est savoir.

Crypto Logo Jihad Black Metal and the Aesthetics of Evil by Daniel Van
Crypto Logo Jihad Black Metal and the Aesthetics of Evil by Daniel van der Velden First published in Metropolis M 3, 2007 This edit published in Art Papers November/December, 2007 Black metal shrouds itself in the darkest of blacks. Deeply unintelligible guttural sounds, illegible logos—the bands do everything they can not to be understood or appreciated. Yet black metal’s dedication to absolute darkness in no way hampers its increasing acceptance in the realms of visibility and the visual arts. At this rate, head bangers can look forward to a perfectly legible future in spotless white cubes. The song is called War, the band, Burzum. Backed by drums, the sound of massive guitar overdrive blares from the speakers. Then, a shrieking voice joins in. It sounds like a Muppet is being strangled, although I realize that someone is in deadly earnest here. The singer is alone. Varg Vikernes, the only member of the Norwegian band Burzum, plays the guitar and drums. He is now in jail for killing Øystein Aarseth, the guitarist of black metal band Mayhem, and for setting fire to churches. In prison, he is devoting himself to the future of the Aryan race and his own Weltanschauung.[1] His writings and portraits reach the outside world through a website hosted in Russia. I first read about the Norwegian group Mayhem and their legendary demo album Pure Fucking Armageddon back in 1987, in the Dutch magazine Aardschok/Metal Hammer. It was a time when bands recorded their own demos and distributed them on tape and an intensive network sprang up between small cells of bands and youths— mostly guys—who also wanted a band of their own: holding a guitar, reinventing yourself, making lots of noise, lulling your mind to sleep.
